The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will check whether or not there were reports of alleged corruption in DKI social assistance (bansos) during the leadership of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. This was conveyed in response to Twitter's Twitter social media activist Rudi Valinka's tweet on his account @kurawa. He said the assistance provided during the COVID-19 pandemic was suspected of being corrupted by related officials. "We will check whether the case is in the KPK or not," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, January 12. Ali also asked anyone who knew about the alleged corruption to report immediately. This report must be done so that the KPK can carry out an investigation. After reporting, the KPK will move later. "We will definitely follow up," said Ali. "KPK will verify, we are reviewing corruption, for example. We are following up and we are enriching further information," he continued. The public can report allegations of corruption, especially related to the COVID-19 social assistance in DKI in various ways. Including sending electronic mail to the KPK or coming directly with preliminary evidence. Rudi Valinka accused the DKI Provincial Government of alleged corruption in the 2020 social assistance program. Through his Twitter account, @kurawa, he highlighted the allocation of the budget for the procurement of social assistance from the DKI Provincial Government to three companies to manage the distribution of 11 stages of social assistance. In addition, the ceiling for the provision of social assistance by Perumda Pasar Jaya is the largest compared to other companies, which is IDR 2.85 trillion. However, Rudi did not clearly specify the alleged corruption. He only revealed data that was claimed to be the result of a forensic audit of the public accounting firm (KAP) Ernst & Young who stated that there was an unknown surprise (unknown loss) worth Rp150 billion. Furthermore, @kurawa also opened data that is suspected to be a list of vendors and suppliers for the procurement of social assistance for the DKI Provincial Government. Dalam daftar tersebut, terdapat beberapa vendor dan suplier yang bukan belakang penyedia bahan makanan, melainkan pengelola parkir hingga kontraktor bangunan. Next, @kurawa also revealed the condition of the rice storage warehouse which was suspected to be for the distribution of social assistance. The condition of the rice there has started to rot with the color of the rice that has turned yellow and accompanied by fungi. Responded by Heru Budi Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that he was not aware of any allegations of social assistance corruption. This is because at that time the Head of the Presidential Secretariat had not yet served as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta. "I don't know. It's been a long time," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, January 11. Heru emphasized that while leading DKI, he often asked his staff to cross-check and match data in DKI Jakarta Provincial Government programs. "So from me here, I have discussed data reconstruction three or four times. In the past, right, I don't understand," said Heru.
